Secretary whitney III.

WASHINGTON, October 29.-Seeretary
Whitney is row in New York, and will not
return to Washington for an indefinite
period. Although not suffering from any
disease, he is forbidden by his physicians
from undertaking any work. For the past
year the Secretary has had troublesome
headaches. which have grown more and
more severe and frequent until now he is
unable to WORK. For the past two weeks
he has not been able even to read his let
te-s, and although he has accumulated
some of the materials, he has written no
word OF his annual report, and there is no
prospect that he will be able to prepare
one. The physician states that with the
necessary rest the Secretary will be per-
fectly well again, and it is probable that
he will 60 TO some quiet country place to
recuperste. During his absence Commo-
dore Harmony will act as Secretary, his
duties and responsibilities being shared,
however, by the board of bureau officers
recently organized to meet this emergency.

That of a Glass.blOWer.

That of a GIass.Dlower.
PITTsBURG, Pa, October ga clue has
been obtained that may lead to the solving
of the Chicago freight car mystery. The
relatives of Frank Harm, not Haran, as
stated last night, are in the city investi-
eating the case. They are positive that the
young man was murdered in Pittsburg and
the body afterwards placed in the carriage
on the car in this city. Frank Carter, a
brother-in law of Harm, in an interview
this morning, said:
l have traced Frank to Pittsburg and every
thing goes TO indicate that he was murdered
here and the body being stealthily placed in
the carriage on the car, was gotten
through to Chicago. Harm boarded with me
at my home in Bridgewster. &c was
glass blower and worked up to last Saturday
evening at the Rochester glass WORKS. He left
my home on Sunday afternoon to visit a friend.
That was the last that we ever saw OF him. 1

ticket for Pittsburg and came to this city on

the theory that Frank was intoxicated. He bore

why he should be murdered. He mad no quar-
rel with anyone. and no suspicion attaches 10
any OF his acquaintance.
The train arrived from the East about >
O'Clock Sunday afternoon, and was imme-
diately made up for the west. It did not
leave until II 90 that night, however, and
in the meantime was side-trGcked in the
yards at Strawberry Lane, q very long part
of Allegheny City. No stop was made be-
tween Allegheny City and Alliance, o. so
that the body must have been placed in
the carriage before the train started, Harm
was alive and well at O'Clock on Sunday
afternoon, and the indications are that he
never got as far as the Union station in
this city.
CHICAGO, October 29-The inquest on
the murdered man, supposed to be Barney
Koran, of Rochester, Pa, who was taken
from a Gon6ola car at the Union Depot
yesterday morning, was held by Deputy
Barrett at the county hospital to-day.
Very little was developed to throw further
light on the mystery OF the mans death.
Dete CITY Tyrell testified to finding a tuft
of human hair in the coupe which was of
lighter color and finer than the dead mans.
He said the man was certainly in the car
risge and killed instantly, as there were
no evidences of struggle. The Jury re-
turned verdict of death by pistol shot
fired by an unknown hand.
